Longitudinal research (or observing the same subject across time) in human development requires more careful planning than do cross-sectional studies and is demanding theoretically and organizationally. This volume focuses on methods of data treatment in longitudinal research emphasizing the importance of careful matching of methodology to the substantive problem under consideration. It deals particularly with concepts of stability and change that are central to personality and developmental research. Contributors to this volume explore the methodology and scope of life span studies in a variety of contexts, including intellectual and cognitive development, transitions such as that from childhood to early adult life, social mobility, behavioral genetics, and psychological disorder, particularly depression. It is a valuable reference for a wide range of researchers in developmental psychology, social and behavioral science, psychiatry, epidemiology, and statistics.

Most contributions to this volume originated as papers given at an inter national conference on Integrative Perspectives on Youth Development held in Berlin (West) in May, 1983. This conference was part of a 6-year longi tudinal research program on the causes of substance use among adolescents in Berlin, which is now in its fourth year. The conference title deliberately did not refer to substance use. However, its relevance to an explanation of drug-related problem behavior was made evident to everyone invited to the conference. The search for integrative perspectives in youth development originated in a dilemma that became obvious during the planning of intensive research on concomitants of substance use. In the methodology for research on youth development, there were two lines of thought that seemed completely unre lated to each other: One line of thought was oriented toward the person, leaving situational aspects aside, while the other concentrated on ecological or situational determinants and thus neglected the aspects of development and internal processes. The integration of both these directions seemed to be an unusually promising approach for any project that aimed to understand changes in the individual within a rapidly changing urban setting. The best way to come closer to a resolution of that dilemma seemed to be an intensive exchange between the American and European scientific communities on this issue."

Vom Ministerium fiir Wissenschaft und Forschung des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen ging die Anregung aus, eine Gruppe von Wissenschaftlern unterschiedlicher Fachrichtungen zu- sammenzubringen, urn von ihnen Fragen der Alternsforschung untersuchen zu lassen. Es blieb aber nicht nur bei der Idee. Auf Einladung des Ministeriums hin fanden sich Erziehungswissen- schaftler, Psychologen und Soziologen zusammen, deren Forschungsprojekte auf die Dauer von zwei Jahren gef6rdert worden sind. Der hier nun vorgelegte Band enthillt die Darstellungen der Ergebnisse aus fiinf der so gef6rderten Projekte. An der Initiative Alternsforschung des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen waren noch weitere Wissenschaftler beteiligt. Wegen zusatzlicher Verpflichtungen in den neuen Bundeslandern konnten Professor Dr. Erich E. Geilller, Universitat Bonn, sowie Professor Dr. Eckhard Konig, Universitat-Gesamthochschule Paderborn, die Ergebnisse ihrer Untersuchungen leider nicht zu diesem Band beisteuern. Nachtraglich betrachtet laBt sich feststellen, daB die Initiative mindestens aus der Sicht der beteiligten Wissenschaftler iiberaus positiv zu bewerten ist. Ein auch von auBen erkennbares Indiz dafiir ist die Tatsache, daB die meisten der beteiligten Forscher weiterhin auf dem Gebiet der Alternsforschung tatig sind und weitere Forschungsergebnisse veroffentlichen. Mit der Veroffentlichung dieses Bandes soli en die Ergebnisse der Fachwelt einer breiteren Offentiichkeit vorgelegt werden. Die Verfasser verbinden damit aber auch die Hoffnung, daB die Ergebnisse seiber Nutzen stiften und daB weitere Forscher angeregt werden mogen, die Alternsforschung auf eine breitere Basis zu stell en.

English summary: As a university institution, the Center for Evaluation and Methods (ZEM) works within a synergetic enviroment of academic teaching and research on the one hand and contract research and consultancy services on the other. Since its foundation in 1999, a diverse range of projects has been carried out at the ZEM, exploiting its combination of competencies to the full to conduct research and carry out consultancy work and surveys. Over time, evaluation and quality assurance, surveys and statistics as well as the development and application of methods have become the main fields of specialization at the ZEM. The institution can draw on many years of experience gained and intensified in these areas through cooperation with numerous academic and commercial partners and clients. On the occasion of the ZEMs 10th anniversary, this volume, published as part of the Applied Research in Psychology and Evaluation Series, provides an insight into the broad variety of projects, which provide a solid foundation and offer favourable prospects for future ventures.
